The devil unmasked

Lights Fading
Quietly sauntering 
through faded lights
 on an alley,

past transgressions mirror 
to beg for unresolved penance.

The most and least he’s followed after.

The difference was all in his head....

No sweeter air then after the
penance of a piano note,
cascading chords and the fate of Atlas.
Tears of a warrior
How does one caress delicate
Strength and Love...

Beheaded by public opinion's sword...

Salted feet, for goats to lick.

Prophet
Proposing pure penalties
Rambling rancorous reveals
Opining odd occasions
Pitching putrid penance
Heralding heinous happenings
Evoking erroneous events
Teaching terrific tautology...

Ode To Childhood
Tender petals of youth wither and fade

Stinging the soul with regret

Sharp penance of years

A yearning too deep for tears

A token of repentance

Times short pleasure to take

Youthful mirth vanishes away...

My Turn To Burn
It is my turn to face the flame
The darkest fire
Her wrath of penance
The woe from my pestilence
An evil army of deadly words
Damnation to finally pay
it leaves a sour taste in the mouth
I am now ended...

Blurred Line's Crossing
Walk the Line
Draw a line under it
On a Charity Fun Run
As penance 
For crossing the line's 
So Many Time's 
You stopped counting 
How many pairs of shoes it took
To look before crossing 
Dangerous Paths...

Rejoicing With the Saints
REJOICING WITH THE SAINTS

Washed with the waters of baptism
Nourished with the food of life
Mingled amidst the blood of the Lamb
Drawn back through the grace of penance 
Filled with the spirit through confirmation...

Partly to blame I

Accept my penance.

To quick to love,
     knowing the end was 

Imminent. Yet I strive
         to

Endure......to Overcome

Never thinking, that loves

Choices, would lead to 

Extreme Heartache!!...

An angel
Fell down
From hell 
Today
His body unburned
With so much to say
He said the war was too much
And he wanted to try his luck
As a human and ask
For repentance
Get closer 
To heaven
To pay his penance
The honorable way...

Premium Member Back Taxes
Hangovers are a back-tax on fun.

To paraphrase T.S. Eliot: 
"Can last night just belong to last night?”

I’m not thinking about sins and penance 
or making any bound-for-failure resolutions.

I’m giving myself a mental health break....
